>>>When I worked at Del Monte in Feltham (and then Staines) I used to go to
lunch at the earliest opportunity and wait there, whilst having a few
pints, until the head of department turned up. Pints were exchanged and
I would finally return to work two and a half hours later in the company
of the head of department completely pissed and fall asleep at my desk.
Got away with it for 3 years :)
This is not in my CV you understand, but as that was the 80s and I am
practically tea total these days I feel that it is safe to mention it.
